Following publication of the Decree of 6 April 2018, suspending the introduction into France of fresh cherries produced in a European Union Member State or third country in which dimethoate use is authorised for cherry tree treatment, the list of countries authorised to export cherries to France was updated by the amendment of 5 May. This expanded to Turkey the authorisation already granted to Chile and Argentina. This decision followed the various exchanges between the DGAL in France and the Turkish authorities, which clarified the position of the latter regarding the ban on the use of dimethoate for the Turkish cherry, whereas it had hitherto only been a recommendation. Furthermore, the introduction into France of cherries from Austria, Croatia, Romania, the Czech Republic, Canada and the United States remains unauthorised. The amendment also provides importers with the possibility of introducing fresh cherries produced in non-specified third countries. However, they need to be able to submit to the competent authorities an official certificate from third producer countries production attesting that no phytopharmaceutical products containing the active substance active dimethoate are authorised for treating cherry trees in this country.
